Last year the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ordered all transvaginal mesh manufacturers to study the negative consequences of their products. Those damages included organ damage, infections, pain during sex and collapse of organs inside the body cavity.

Soon thereafter, Bard/Endo Health Solutions Inc. took their product, Avaulta, off the market. Now they have more than 8,000 federal cases with Avaulta victims to deal with. Had it not been for the government asking for the study, the number of victims affected could have been increased by thousands. Bard is starting to settle those cases after losing in trial twice this year.

Johnson & Johnson also made a big profit in the transvaginal mesh market, and the company was also stung in trial this year. Thus far, they have decided not to start settlement talks. However, they did withdraw their great selling Gynecare Prolift from the market. Who would blame them after an $11.1 million verdict in New Jersey? We are winning these cases, and the snowball on Johnson & Johnson is now rolling downhill. I predict the company will change their position on settlement by mid- 2014.
